The SPH Explosive Launcher aka shooting sticky explosive loads onto people in Battlefield 2042, the alternative title :P As requested a video on the new SPH grenade launcher gadget included in Season 4. The Assault Class only gadget "fires Smart Piercing Hook (SPH) explosives - “sticky” projectiles".
DICE's view of what the SPH brings to the Assault Class, "that it will bring even more depth to the Assault Class". I disagree with that view, it's a grenade launcher, not a smoke grenade launcher, it's an explosive grenade that sticks to things with a pretty generous kill radius. Feels like BF1 all over again with giving way too many explosives to the Assault Class and it's use is pretty specific or not something you'd really use on armor or aircraft.
For those who think this is for breaking walls what are 40mm grenade launchers for? Assault class would likely have them on their ARs since they would probably be running ARs because of the Assault Class proficiency. Knocking down walls with grenade launchers attached to ARs was something they've wanted players to do since Bad Company 1. Or in BF2042's case use C5 to knock down walls or is this now seen as a waste because of how many C5 it takes to blow up a vehicle and how much you can carry along with how long it takes to fully resupply your C5? In which case shouldn't that be addressed instead of adding another cheese gadget that already exists in a different form ( crossbow explosive bolts ).
If it wasn't clear I was mainly going around with SPH gadget as a primary weapon and trying to avoid using my actual primary or secondary weapons because otherwise using everything as you normally would makes the Assault Class feel way too strong.
For those unusual examples starting around 14:04 I wonder if there is a bug where you can you avoid the damage by crouching or going prone? Or is it similar to the throwing knife where it's a fake register on my client and the server says "NO". We haven't spent any time testing so just throwing out random possible reasons since I can't explain why those players didn't die since according to DICE they should have.
Dozer and Zain benefit in their own ways using this gadget. I tried to avoid playing as Dozer because I felt like I'd create bad habits using him.
Also wow are there a lot of bugs in the Season 4 update. I mean yeah some of them are just returning bugs or ones that were patched previously but still what is going on with DICE's source control. Is this just a mix up with Ripple Effect ( DICE LA ) not using the same source as DICE Sweden?
